in yoga, meditation, spiritual practice, self-improvement and all these pursuits, we seem fixated on transformation, improvement and refinement. i propose we don't see our yoga this way. it should be a place free from all that pressure.

i had a great first yoga teacher training. my teacher was guru-like, my classmates were lovely... but very soon after it was clear that some people felt empowered and.... others didn't... that was/still is a shame. the simple reason - a lack of true anatomy knowledge. that we are not all the same. this lack creates haves and have nots. gurus and the rest. the rockstars and the forever students. and... and it is totally avoidable.

This is the last in our mini 3-part series on "why we meditate".

Because very few (even the experienced) seem to have an idea.

This week, we focus on "being with the moment"... and riding it, whatever happens, no big deal.

So many gurus and spiritual teachers seem so relaxed and chill.. how do they get there?

In this new format of our podcast, now recording live, I lecture on the Daoist idea of Freedom in Eastern Philosophy & from the Dao De Jing - Chapter 21. In the second half of our time, I take a question on how yoga body muscles are different from gym bod and why gym people have to take it slow in yoga (and yoga people should do the same in a gym). To 30 mins - Freedom! Dao De Jing Chapter 21 From 30 mins - Q&A, Why do gym bodies find yoga hard?
